Thanks Charlotte, I've added the missing l to my link

[Keli Kyrie]

Thank you Charolotte I was wondering why I could not get that link to work. Darn missing L.

[Charolotte Caxton]

Oh, I didn't know why it wasn't working, I was just trying to prevent all the hey the link is broken! responses

Excellent!  Thank you so much for sharing that! 

Makes me think of the Appalachian people today as I've heard many of their stories of hardship before.  I think about them quite often as a matter of fact.  How we can resolve some of the extreme poverty that exists in the Appalachia I have no answers for, however as I'm not rich.

I remember reading a book as a child called "Christy" I believe it was, and I feel instantly in love with the Appalachian people ever since through that book experience.  That book Christy had a huge influence on my life, so I always remember these people!   Wonderful people with huge hearts!

lol I copied and pasted and missed off the l at the end of html, thanks for posting the correct link.

[Charolotte Caxton]

Oh, ok. np

[Ciaran Laval]

Thanks for that, I'm not so in tune with the back story so it's nice to hear a perspective from someone who has more affinity with it.

lol, is this a quiz?

It was also great to see them dancing in the video or machinima because that's how incredible those people are.  They endure such hardship everyday, but still take the time to dance.

You might enjoy reading the book Christy, or if and when you have children, I'm sure the would enjoy that book. 

The following link is all I can find right now on the book, and it is a true story.  I thought it was a terrific book!  ETA:  I didn't know this was a TV show.  I'm going to have to check that out!  It could be somewhere on some channel in reruns.
